Glen Iris is a settled family suburb of California bungalows and renovated period homes, where the kitchen is usually the heart of a busy household. Those renovations almost always feature marble or quartzite islands, and busy family life is exactly what leaves them etched and marked.

What are we protecting?
Sealing vs protection film: what each one does
A sealer slows how fast liquids absorb into the stone and needs reapplying over time, but it offers no defence against acid etching. DURAFLEX is a physical barrier bonded to the surface: it stops both staining and etching, needs zero maintenance, and is backed by an up-to-10-year warranty. The two work together, the seal prepares the stone and the film protects it.

I would highly recommend Duraflex. It's a premium product and worth the investment. Chris and Matt were incredibly helpful with assigning me getting a few stains out of a new marble bench top. Amazing customer service and very happy!

Our benches look incredible, was hoping for protection maybe at the expense of aesthetics but it looks and feels supreme. The whole process was smooth and everyone was super professional.

DURAFLEX is an invisible, self-healing polyurethane film bonded over your stone. Because every acid and spill contacts the film and not the marble, it stops the etching and staining that ordinary care simply cannot prevent.
DURAFLEX in action
Real installation: the DURAFLEX Glen Iris project.
Why Glen Iris families choose DURAFLEX
Family kitchens in Glen Iris see homework, school lunches and weekend baking, with kids and spills that nobody can fully police. An unprotected marble island takes the brunt of it, collecting acid marks from juice, fruit and sauce that no cleaning product will ever lift.
We cover Glen Iris and nearby Ashburton, Camberwell and Malvern, installing film that is heat-sealed at the edges and invisible once it is on. Don’t worry, it’s DURAFLEX, which is the most useful thing you can say to a household where the bench is never empty for long.
Automotive-trained installers, not stone tradespeople
Film application is a precision job that rewards a steady hand and patience with edges. That background exists in automotive paint protection film installation, not stone restoration. Every DURAFLEX installer comes from the automotive film industry, and the technique transfers directly to stone: tension management, edge trimming and heat sealing.
Heat sealing and the up-to-10-year warranty
After the film is applied it is heat sealed to the surface. This activates the adhesive, closes the edges and removes the micro-lifting points that cause bubbling over time. The up-to-10-year warranty covers bubbling, lifting and yellowing, and every Glen Iris job is completed to the same standard.
Serving Glen Iris and surrounding suburbs
DURAFLEX services Glen Iris and the wider Melbourne area. Installation is completed in a single visit with no curing period and no downtime, so the kitchen is back in normal use the same day, and every Glen Iris estimate is no-obligation.
Glen Iris marble protection: common questions
Is the film safe around children and food?
Yes. Once installed the polyurethane surface is inert and easy to wipe clean, with no maintenance routine required. It is simply a clear, durable layer over the stone you already prepare food on.
My kids have already etched our marble, can it still be protected?
Film protects against future damage rather than reversing existing etching. We will assess the current surface honestly and tell you what the film can and cannot do before you decide.
How long does a Glen Iris installation take?
A typical kitchen is completed in a single visit of a few hours. There is no curing period, so the family kitchen is back in use that same evening.
Will the film stop heat marks from pots and trays?
DURAFLEX is designed to stop etching and staining from acids and spills. We always recommend trivets for very hot cookware, and we will walk you through sensible everyday use at installation.
Does the film need resealing like my benchtop does?
No. Unlike a penetrating sealer that wears off and needs reapplying, the film is a permanent barrier with zero maintenance and an up-to-10-year warranty.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Will I be able to see or feel it?
No. It’s optically clear and ultra-thin, so the stone looks exactly the same. Customers love the satin feel of our ULTRA Satin-X film (if that’s what you’re into).
Does it actually stop stains and etching?
DURAFLEX is completely non porous, meaning spills don’t stand a chance. Wine, coffee, oil and citrus wipe away completely, protecting the stone from etching and staining.
How long does installation take?
Most kitchens are completed in a single day, approximately 2 hours per surface.
